[gentoo-user] [OT] Amorok and getting started.

[Dale <dalek@exceedtech.net>]

Hi,

As we all know XMMS was recently removed.  I have a little CD collection
that I want to put on my hard drive and I want to use Amarok to do this.
 I have postgresql installed and am trying to get it setup using the
Gentoo wiki.  This is what I have installed:

> root@smoker / # equery list postgresql
> [ Searching for package 'postgresql' in all categories among: ]
>  * installed packages
> [I--] [  ] dev-db/postgresql-8.0.8 (0)
> root@smoker / # equery list amarok
> [ Searching for package 'amarok' in all categories among: ]
>  * installed packages
> [I--] [  ] media-sound/amarok-1.4.3-r1 (0)
> root@smoker / #


I have never done any of this before.  Somehow, likely by mistake, I got
one CD copied over and can play off the hard drive.  I have no idea how
I did this really.  I need someone on or off list to teach me how to get
the music off the CD, get it into Amarok so I get get this going.  This
looks really cool.

If whoever can help me uses MySql instead, I would be willing to install
it, especially if it is better.  I only want to do CDs.  I have a lousy
dial-up connection here.

Thanks much for any help you can provide.

Dale
